"Lady, His Highness is staying overnight in the main courtyard," Chanyi said as she entered.
"Hmm." That's normal; the Crown Princess is pregnant.
Luo Kui went to the kitchen, where everything was bustling with activity.
Everyone needs a late-night snack, and at least Luo Kui has a place to sit and wait. A young eunuch from the kitchen came over and said, "Sister, please sit for a while. It will be ready soon."
"Thank you. Our lady would like some soup today, do you have any?" Luo Kui said politely.
"Don't worry, don't worry, we have everything." The young eunuch chuckled and left.
The main courtyard also needs to be included, but it has its own dedicated stove, so there's no need to mix with them.
But everyone needs some late-night snacks at this time, so naturally everyone gets busy.
Yan Nan returned here and asked for things, and the kitchen didn't make things difficult for her, mainly because she was willing to spend money, and also because she was still considered a favorite.
So she quickly got the food box, and the kitchen staff, worried that Luo Kui wouldn't be able to carry it, even carried it for her.
But when they returned, they saw Han Chenghui's maid hitting Ding Zhaoxun's maid.
“Our master was hungry after coming down from the banquet, and everyone was rushing to grab a bite. You didn’t go to the banquet, so why do you have to snatch it now?”
Another maid laughed and said, "That's right, no matter what, Han Chenghui should have taken it first. You always like to snatch it. Things aren't like they used to be."
This person is from Wang Fengyi's faction.
Ding Zhaoxun's maid lowered her head and gritted her teeth, but dared not speak.
Indeed, things are different now than they used to be.
But what she came to get wasn't a midnight snack; it was clearly dinner.
They said they were too busy with the banquet to come earlier.
Now that you've come, you're bringing this up again...
She knew in her heart that her daughter, Zhaoxun, had offended many people in the past, and now this was people coming after her to make trouble.
But she can't even attend the New Year's banquet, doesn't that further prove that she has fallen out of favor?
Luo Kui glanced at it once and left.
Back at Jiyue Pavilion, the young eunuch who delivered the meal was naturally rewarded. He left happily.
When Yan Nangui heard Luo Kui tell this story, she smiled and said, "Isn't that what they deserve? They were too arrogant before. Now that they've fallen from grace, what's wrong with being bullied? If they can't regain favor and rise again, they'll still have plenty of days to be bullied."
"It's just that she wasn't lucky; she got pregnant right away and things started going wrong. If she had waited another half a month, she might be fine now," Chanyi said.
Yan Nangui smiled. Indeed, if they told her in another half month, Ding Zhaoxun might be able to keep this pregnancy.
But no one can see back in time; she was too excited and eager to make a scene.
When Ding Zhaoxun returned, Guohua had a slap mark on her face.
Ding Zhaoxun saw this and asked, "Who hit you?"
"It's Qing'er from Han Chenghui's place," Guohua whispered.
Ding Zhaoxun was furious, but he didn't say anything.
She has been treated coldly during this time and has realized that she was too immature before.
The food was cold when it was served, which meant it had been prepared long ago, but they just didn't give it to them.
“How can we eat this…” another maid sighed, “Let’s heat it up on the stove…”
Ding Zhaoxun's chest ached with anger. She should have been taking good care of herself during this time, but because of the torment she was experiencing, she couldn't eat or drink properly. Now, she gets chest pains at the drop of a hat, all because of anger.
But she hasn't been able to leave the mountain yet, and now she's so angry she can't do anything about it.
All she could think about was how she would teach those people a lesson once she was old enough to serve them.
After finishing the third year of junior high, there's nothing left to do.
After all, the Crown Prince holds a high position, so he doesn't need to visit other places to offer New Year's greetings.
The seventh prince finally had time to visit A'Luo on the seventh day of the month.
It started snowing early on the seventh day of the lunar new year, and by noon, everything was covered in white.
In the Floating Life Garden, a star like A Luo naturally has comfortable accommodations and servants to wait on her.
When the Seventh Prince arrived, A'Luo was drinking pear soup. For actresses like them, their voices were naturally the most important thing.
The Seventh Prince came in and sat down: "I brought you a lot of things. Do you like them later?"
A Luo put down her bowl and frowned slightly: "If you hadn't come, I would have sent someone to invite you."
The seventh prince told us that his residence was in the south of the city, and that if we wanted to find him, we should send someone to deliver a message.
"Oh? A'Luo, you rarely contact me, you missed me?" The Seventh Prince, far from being annoyed after succeeding, became even more attentive. Hearing A'Luo say this, he was overjoyed.
“I have some questions I’m very puzzled about.” A Luo sighed. “The other day, someone came to my place, claiming to be someone from the Yan family’s second wife’s side. Out of the blue, they said some things to me that were really unpleasant. Although we actors hear this kind of thing all the time, it still…”
"The Second Madam of the Yan family? What did she say to her?" The Seventh Prince frowned.
"To be honest, I find this very strange. She meant that she probably wanted to marry her daughter to you, and then asked me to persuade you to agree, so that you could take me back." A'Luo stood up, looking at the Seventh Prince with a questioning and scrutinizing gaze: "You know I've always disliked being restrained. I've never said anything about asking you to take me away. I've earned enough money to buy my own freedom. What does this mean now?"
"Besides, isn't your family in business? Their family has a general, right? Although the second wife isn't a high-ranking official, she's still a fourth-rank official. Why would she be willing to marry down?"
The Seventh Prince smiled awkwardly. He hadn't revealed his true identity yet. He liked A'Luo's way of being with him and didn't want her to feel uncomfortable after he told her.
So he said, "Who knows? Maybe they're short of money."
A'Luo, with an air of "I see right through you, but I don't want to say it," said, "Fine, I won't ask about those things. But shouldn't you resolve this matter? Even if they want to marry you, wouldn't it be better to do it openly and honestly? Besides, if you're going to marry, whoever you marry should be your own choice, or arranged by your parents. What kind of crooked path are they taking? That person even went on and on praising this second daughter of the Yan family. Is she really that good? They described her as an angel."
"What celestial being! You are the celestial being. Never mind him, I will handle it myself." Seeing that A Luo was no longer asking questions, the Seventh Prince breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring you back this year. I have already made arrangements, no one in Fusheng Garden will make things difficult for you, and you like to sing opera yourself, so just sing for a few more months."
The Seventh Prince was not without difficulty, as A'Luo's status was too low.
If she were to enter the mansion, she probably wouldn't even be able to become a concubine; she would only be a maid without any official status.
But how could he bear to hurt A-Luo, whom he loves so much?
He was afraid of being scolded by his mother, and dared not bring her back before the main wife entered the mansion.
And now this has happened? A celestial beauty? What a load of rubbish! Does he think he's never seen the second daughter of the Yan family? Isn't she just an ordinary, common woman?
Shameless thing, how dare you harass A-Luo?
If it were the eldest son's daughter, he might give it a second thought, but what about the second son's daughter?
A'Luo knew she had accomplished her mission simply by seeing the malice flashing in the Seventh Prince's eyes.
